The Community Continence Team support children under 16 from Sheffield with any of the following:
We hold clinics at Centenary House and the Northern General Hospital where we assess children thoroughly and arrange necessary investigations.
The community continence team has a number of doctors, specialist continence nurses and support workers along with the input from a clinical psychologist.
These clinics are for children under the age of 16 years with any of the following:
GPs, health visitors and school nurses can refer you to these clinics.
Children and their parents / carers will have the opportunity to talk about the problem and how it affects them. A full assessment will be carried out including a physical examination. A urine sample may be needed. Charts may be sent prior to the first appointment to help assess the problems. Other investigations may be arranged.
Information about the child’s condition will be given, children and their parents / carers will be involved in deciding what would be the best course of action. This could include general advice, advice about drinks and diet, medication or alarm therapy (for bed-wetting), or a toilet training programme and laxatives (for constipation).
Children and parents / carers are asked to fill in charts to record success and progress and bring these to clinic appointments. This information is important to assess the child and decide on treatment plans.
We aim to work in partnership with families and ask for their cooperation in our management and treatment plans
Please note that your child may not be seen by the same health professional in clinic at every appointment but may see another member of the team without compromising the care of the child.
Further information and advice for professionals and parents on day and night wetting, constipation and soiling and toilet training is available on our website and the ERIC (Education & Resources for Improving Childhood Continence) website.
